Theoretical insight into two-dimensional g-C6N6/InSe van der Waals Heterostructure: A promising visible-light photocatalyst

Junli Chang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the g-C6N6/InSe heterostructure, revealing its high potential for photocatalytic applications due to significant charge transfer, built-in electric field for effective electron-hole separation, and tunable band gap through interfacial strain. Additionally, the enhanced absorption coefficient in the visible-light range compared to individual InSe layer indicates the effectiveness of constructing heterostructures for improved optical performance. The detailed discussion on elementary reactions helps evaluate the photocatalytic activity and pave the way for designing new water-splitting photocatalysts in the visible-light range.

Ni(NCS)2 monolayer: a robust bipolar magnetic semiconductor

Yaxuan Wu et al.

Summary: The Ni(NCS)(2) monolayer is a robust bipolar ferromagnetic semiconductor with a moderate bandgap and a Curie temperature of 37 K. It remains ferromagnetic ordering under strain and electron doping, but ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic phase transition occurs with high concentrations of holes doping. The monolayer may have promising potential for magnetic nanoelectronic devices.

Designing C6N6/C2N van der Waals heterostructures for photogenerated charge carrier separation

Moumita Mukherjee et al.

Summary: The photocatalytic water splitting mechanism based on two-dimensional catalyst materials, such as the C6N6/C2N heterostructure, has been studied. The interface potential drop and band edge positions facilitate efficient charge transfer, higher hole mobility, and prevention of recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. The combination of wide band gap semiconductor (C6N6) with a moderate band gap semiconductor (C2N) allows for efficient harnessing of solar energy for water splitting in the visible region.
